Best way would be to fit a usb socket in the top of the dash and use a short cable to connect?not sure if this is the right place on the forum, saw this on Facebook looks interesting if there was a way to hide the wire I think its looks really good, thoughts?
as I don't have an A2 yet I don't think it will restrict the view as i've heard you sit higher up in the front?

Thanks I’ll have to do a searchsome years back there was a thread where someone cut out the panel on the top of the dash and then made a screen pop up using the cut out as the lid. Only for the brave and those with a steady hand with the Dremel! I've toyed with doing the same as I think screens down below on a double DIN are too low.
Nice big screen however blocking the vents is not for me
Personally I would, each to their ownIn all the years never used the centre vents. The Garmin sits where the centre vents were.
Same here, not keen on vents blowing on me.In all the years never used the centre vents. The Garmin sits where the centre vents were.
Hmmmm, food for thought Tom. I have a DD Dash ready to swap, but this may need doing before it goes in! A flip up smart screen would be ideal. The only thing about fitting the screen too far forward, is risking reflections in the windscreen at night.Evening,
I too have considered not using the central vent and sealing the supply pipes up below the dashboard covering. This then allows the modifier to add a much dealer storage tray where other have cut out the rectangular shape in the past. I’ve been wanting to add an A1 pop up screen for a while now that is connected up that a CarPC.
I’d leave the actual vents though so it looks as OEM as possible though. Something I may well do on the next project whilst the dashboard is out.
Kind regards,
Tom
I think i found it!
